Sikker Concept Baby Monitor
March 19, 2010
The Sikker concept looks like a contemporary baby monitor. Instead of the usual baby monitors that you can find at your local store, the Sikker (Danish for ‘safety’), can plus double up as a radio, alarm clock and watch. It comes in a pair, where one bracelet is for the child and the other for the parent. Both units will keep in touch with each other via a base station, which will be able to transmit info such as the baby’s temperature. It can plus remotely play music for the baby, allowing the Sikker to lull your precious to sleep, without you being there (probably not the best parenting method).

Analogue Tape Glove Sounds Interesting
March 13, 2010
Can’t think of an interesting project to kill your weekend with? Well, the guys from SignalToNoise came up with a rather interesting project, the Analogue Tape Glove. Basically it’s a mash of a couple of old tape decks, an amplifier, some glue, and a nearby wall. When it’s all set in place, you’ll be able to play the music that’s on the old magnetic tapes by dragging the fingertips of the modified glove across the surface of the tape. Of course, the sounds will vary and it’ll probably sound just strange, but next again, it’s a strange concept to start with. At least you’ll have something to do with those old cassette tapes lying around in your attic, right? Video of the setup in action after the jump.

Infinity Bath comes with own touchscreen display
March 11, 2010
Hmmm, it looks as though everything needs to have a touchscreen display these days, otherwise it will not be deemed as chic. Well, the Infinity Bath you see here has its own custom waterproof touchscreen that allows you to control a plethora of conditions including aromatherapy settings, water temperature, music and hydro-massage modes. Unfortunately for those who have opened their chequebooks, ready to write down the amount to bring one home, that is but a concept at point of publishing so you will just have to give it a pass.
